Cheapest place to get 16gb SDHC cards from?

[timwilky]

I bought a flash card from ebay - china. Fake the 64Gb turned out to be about 1.5Gb before failing. You get what you pay for, Buy cheap buy again

I've had numerous cheap sans disk cards simply fall apart on me, they just split at the seams, including the one in my Sony cybershot which is now jammed in the slot

I can vouch for that particular auction, that card is in my SD slot now.

sorry mate my video data rates when recording in full HD are around 17mbit/sec so ideally needs to be a faster card.

Of course this may be irrelevant depending on the use to which your will put the device, but serves to illustrate that the more expensive cards may not simply be a 'rip off'.

I understand about paying more for better quality cards, but my OP was aimed at the likes of maplins who want to charge £60-£80 for a 16 or 32gb SDHC high speed card, where as places such as warehouseexpress & the like are only charging £30-£40 for example

Thanks for the memorybits link though, just ordered
